Display a default location
Display a default location when matching search results for your visitor cannot be found.
When a search yields no location(s), MetaLocator default behavior is to display the message "No results found for your search."
Our customers have shown interest in displaying a location when there are none that fit a searcher's criteria. We've made it easy to give your visitors a location even when their search might not be wide enough. To configure your interface to behave in this manner, follow these few steps:
- Identify the location, and note the MetaLocator ID# you wish for your customers to see when their search returns nothing.
- Navigate to Interfaces > (Your Interface Name) > Territory Settings
- Input the MetaLocator ID# into the field "Default Record ID". Leave "Enable Territories" at "No" unless you are using the Territory features.
- Save your interface
5. Preview your interface to test your change
